There are a few obscure potential causes, but these are less likely than the most common reason: The power assist brakes are operated by a vacuum diaphragm which is provided vacuum from the engine. When the diagram inside the brake booster has a leak, when you apply the brakes it causes a vacuum leak for the engine which will raise the idle.
With the car in park, engine running, make sure that it comes and goes every time that the pedal is depressed and released. Another way to check it is to turn off the engine, wait about five seconds, then depress the brake pedal, counting how many times it can be pressed before the assist goes away (you will see a difference).
If you can press it four times or more, the leak may be elsewhere, however if it only presses once or twice (before it gets hard, and only goes halfway down), it has a leak and will need to be replaced.
you may have a frozen fuel line. fuel not reaching engine. put some dry gas in it to displace moisture in fuel system. the reason why it quit when pushing pedal is, its starving for fuel. have a good day !!
Could it be the fuel pump? If you let it sit for a bit then turn the key on and listen for it to pressurize the system you can tell if it's working or not.
